St. L., I. M. & S. Railway Co. v. Beidler.

more than a printed form of articles of agreement in use by the Company for sales of land, signed by Beidler alone, and with none of the blanks filled; so that it amounts to no more than a sheet of blank paper with Beidler's signature at the end. But attached to this blank form was the following memorandum in pencil:

"Sa!e suspended.

"H M. Beidler, Texarkana, Ark. Con. No. 2,444. Part of N. 1-2 of S. E., Sec. 30-15-28; 53.75$ at 15, outside of reservation, Miller county; 1-4 cash, balance in 1, 2 and 3 years. Reserve perpetual right-of-way for pipe from pump to tank."

And the company also produced and filed with said blank form the following, which we take to be an excerpt from its book of sales:
